Right now I'm just rooting for selectors. If they get those going I'll be REALLY happy. +, >, [attrib=], etc, that's be great.:hover working on all elements would be a nice addition too.
One of my college professors was married to a North Carolina State Representative. She (the legislator) introduced and passed a bill that prevented cell towers from being installed on view-defining land. Tall (for the Appalachians) mountains, long ridges, shoreline, and pastures all exist in NC; and the Research Triangle around Raleigh contains some of the finest engineering minds of current Western Civilization.
Some of the earliest disguised cellphone towers were installed around or near the Research Triangle.
Hopefully, if a cell tower can be disguised as an asymmetric cactus, an organic-looking evergreen can be designed!
Just outside Augusta, Georgia, in the summer of 1997 (?), a huge regional fight between two towns occurred about whether or not to build a Wal*Mart distribution center. The town which stood to gain more of the deal (employment, tax revenue, and what springs from those) was the town prepared to sell the land. The other town (affluent, tax-healthy, mostly white) didn't want it, and took the first town to court in a higher level of government, and defeated the proposition. Who should have won that battle?
A few years later, a Wal*Mart store was built in the affluent town. What's NIMBY about a distribution center as opposed to a retail storefront?
The American Public knows what it wants, it just can't reconcile opposing factors.
Is there any kind of get-the-facts project to spread the truth against or about Microsoft's (etc) FUD and propaganda? That might help counter^H^H^H^H^H^H^Heducate those careless "decision makers."
I'm not advocating counter-propaganda, of course, but if there were a way for average users* to learn, simply**, about the ins and outs of FOSS, and how companies misrepresent it, the movement might just get somewhere a little faster.

Well, here's one I developed based on another's starting point. It's a single external library which defines a class and is called via a constructor which accepts an element or its element ID. The element should be a simple, standard select control, which is then augmented via this script to act like a combobox. The bit of functionality for accepting values that don't exist in the options is togglable at the time of construction. I have yet to have a problem with it in any installation of my user base.
That's utterly false. "A New Hope" has always - *always* - been Episode IV. "The Empire Strikes Back" has always - *always* - been Episode V. Oh, yeah, and "Return of the Jedi"? Yeah, it's always - *always* - been Episode VI.
The original theory was that the original three were to make up the middle-most epic of a nine-chapter saga. Lucas, I've heard, didn't know if he would film the prequels, and now claims he'll never film the sequels.
I watched an episode of Tripping the Rift, and have to chime in here: it's categorically one of the worst television programs I've ever witnessed personally. The animation is pitiful, and the "adult-oriented" humor is far too juvenile. The involvement of sex does not orient humor toward adults, it orients humor toward teenaged boys. The characters were poorly-written, and along with the plot felt stolen from D-list porn.

I'd much rather - as a user - be able to CTRL+Click a button and have the form submit to a new tab (or window).
Look up Dean Edwards's IE7 Behavior. It fixes a bunch of selectors and more.
Turn your killfile inside-out.
As a bonus, you may eventually get to meet Rei Toei.
I don't even expect a woman to get on a eunuch.
Good point.
You must not own a house.

Terrible. Laughable-- not funny, laughable.
